AND ND CROOKEDNESS A 4 brilliant brUlla illustration of f the ability of an ampt and nd efficient police force to prevent disorder disorder and cope cpi with the criminal el element ment is presented in n the record mad made at Memphis Tennes Tennessee ee on the occasion of Admiral Schley's recent visit to that city All during his stay and especially while several public demonstrations in his honor were in progress although the streets were jammed with people there was not not an arrest for disorderly conduct and not a single case of pocket-picking pocket reported These fac facts s are Int Interesting to us of of Salt Lake City in view of the great crowds crowds' that will assemble here for the Elks Elks' convention Coincidently we may may expect expect expect ex ex- ex- ex an ail influx of crooked persons and it remains to be seen how far they will willbe willbe willbe be able to ply their criminal vocations while the visitors are here We have no doubt that if the City Council will supply Chief of Police Paul with the necessary m men n he will duplicate the record made at Memphis He is making making making ma ma- king progress already in many directions directions directions and will make nake it faster when his force is increased as it should be wIthout without without with wIth- out another days day's delay It Is now reasonably reasonably rea rca possible for respectable women and girls to walk on our principal streets without h incurring the danger of criticism or insult from gangs of loafers loafers loaf- loaf I ers era congregated on the prominent nt c
